Daughter of the Otherworld
From the author of the Gael Song trilogy, an epic new historical fantasy set in the tumultuous, magical world of medieval Ireland during the time of the Norman invasion.Over a hundred years after she went missing, Isolde, born to the family of a famous Irish king and a powerful immortal, inexplicably reappears. Her mother''s kin, the Descendants, are one of the two magical races of Ireland. But no Descendant can understand the reasons for Isolde''s disappearance, and worse yet, she is giftless – born with no magical ability, a dangerous thing when the magic-rich Fomorians, ancient enemies of the Descendants, are growing in strength.The Fomorians no longer control any Irish kingdoms, but they still desire control over the mortal world. They seek to spread their dangerous webs wider by manipulating England’s Norman lords to invade Ireland.Not yet eighteen, Isolde''s world is about to change for ever. But when death and destruction seem inevitable, her true worth will show itself, for Isolde is far more than she seems.Reviews for Shauna Lawless''Highly recommended'' Lucy Holland''Highlander meets The Last Kingdom'' Anthony Ryan''Gripping and beautiful'' Anna Smith Spark''An excellent read'' Mark Lawrence

As the Prince of Darkness weaves his web of lies, Henry is driven away from his friends and family, spiraling into isolation. Now, Henry must confront his deepest fears and the darkness within. The very soul of Salem hangs in the balance. To save the Witch City, Henry might have to sacrifice everything—his life, his soul, and his humanity. In this thrilling fifth installment of Robert Sanborn’s League of the Moon series, magic and prophecy collide. One man’s choice will determine the fate of all. Can Henry uncover the truth before it’s too late? Or will Salem fall to an ancient evil that threatens to destroy everything?

A Fellowship of Games & Fables - Adenashire 3
From cold rivalry to hot cocoa and warm hearts
Jez, a grumpy fennex, wants nothing to do with the winter games descending on Adenashire. She'd rather sleep through winter than deal with the snow, the noise, or the swarm of visitors in town.

Together, the two women tackle challenges?from ice sculpting to scavenger hunts?and their reluctant partnership becomes something deeper, built on laughter, trust, and a shared love of cozy corners and quiet moments.
With the help of her quirky friend group and the magic of a town that thrives on togetherness, Jez begins to open up?not just to the festivities but to the possibility of healing, connection, and maybe even joy.
Dark Fairy Tales
Master storyteller Viktor Wynd is back with a gloriously grim collection of wickedly entertaining tales from around the world, guaranteed to tickle the darker side of the imagination.
Viktor Wynd has always gravitated toward the weirder corners of folklore. On his extensive travels, he has amassed a trove of stories that refuse to play nice — filled with risqué twists, grotesque details, and endings that are surprisingly happy, though not always in the way one might expect.
Having entertained audiences around the world with these tales, he has now written down some of his favorites in a book as beautifully produced as it is macabre. The stories were collected in Wales, Ireland, Arabia, Germany, Norway, Papua New Guinea, and Borneo and include the adventures of a one-eyed troll; the feckless Paddy O’Dwyer; a changeling child; a girl who thinks she can outwit a witch; the doomed Sinbad the Traveler; shapeshifters; and a baby-eating pig.
Each chapter begins with Wynd’s personal account of how he came to learn these stories. Arresting and intricate illustrations by Transylvanian artist Luciana Nedelea perfectly balance the charming and grotesque. The book also includes a guide to the art of learning and recounting fairy tales. With foil accents and black-stenciled edges, this volume feels like a forbidden artifact plucked from a dusty cabinet of curiosities.
